Brief Answer:
Seems like infected Bartholin cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
From what you refer, it looks like an infected Bartholin cyst, which is located close to the clitoris.
I'd recommend you clean it with a cotton ball or gauze imbibed with a disinfectant and apply a topical over the counter antibiotic. Keep the area clean and dry and well dressed with the lotion and change your underwear frequently.
If the infection is repeated, please see a doctor for further examination.
I hope this helps. If you have further questions, I'd be happy to help.
Take care.
Regards
